Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 6 pieces Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, cornstarch, and water to form a smooth sauce. Set aside.
Mince the garlic cloves and chop the green onions into 1-inch pieces, separating the white and green parts.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions to the pan, stirring for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through.
Pour the pre-mixed sauce over the chicken, stirring quickly to coat everything evenly. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
Add the green parts of the green onions and sprinkle ground black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
